Is the 'Drake curse' really true?
Drake is gifted with many things. He is good at rapping, random acts of kindness, bringing back cancelled TV shows and many more. However, for many football fans, he's also becoming a bit of a pain.
The rapper has spent the past month travelling the UK and Europe on his Assassination Vacation tour and many footballers have been among the thousands who've flocked to see him perform.
Seeing the effect, bosses at Italian soccer club AS Roma even banned players from posing for snaps with rapper Drake.

The 'Drake Curse' has become a bit of a social media phenomenon. Not just football, the effect was earlier seen when Drake's beloved NBA team the Toronto Raptors, made him global ambassador in 2013.
Since then, the Raptors develop a bit of a reputation for choking in big games.
